Over the weekend Wilting Rose won best feature film at the 2025 Spain International Film Festival! Thanks to everyone who has watched on Prime Video! Wilting Rose is now also available on @fawesome_tv !
Wilting Rose is now out and available on Prime Video! It’s been a very long journey to get to this point, and we’ve had so much support throughout the whole process. Thanks to everyone involved and everyone who we crossed paths with along the way. This is my first feature length film, and I’m happy with the way it came out. I learned all kinds of things that I’ll bring into my next films. But most importantly to me, I was able to have my Dad in this film, who I lost during the editing of the film. One of the magical things about movies is that they, in a way, immortalize people. They can give the same feeling of an old photograph of people who you love and are now gone. But in a way you can go and visit them any time you want by just throwing on a film they’re in. Please check it out, and let me know what you think! Thank you!!
Woke up to some awesome news this morning. Wilting Rose took home 4 awards at the Crown Point International Film Festival! Including best Thriller Feature Film! There was no possible way to make this film without the help of everyone involved, so these awards are absolutely shared with everyone, long time friends, new friends, and family, that helped in the making of this. Thank you!!
Absolutely thrilled that Wilting Rose has been chosen as an Official Selection for the 2024 Crown Point International Film Festival in Chicago, Illinois! I’m so excited for people to finally get to see this movie. Much thanks always to everyone that helped make this film possible.
I'm so excited to finally share the teaser for my feature film WILTING ROSE! Please let me know what you think! I can't wait for the film to finally be out there and available to watch! The whole process has been so incredible.

A Film by Hidden Forest Pictures
Here is a first look at the poster for my feature film “Wilting Rose.” Working on this film has taken up the last 16 months of my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It has always been a dream of mine to make a movie, and here we are. As always thanks to everyone involved, and everyone we met along the way. Everything learned and taken from this film will go directly into my next one. I couldn’t be more excited to get that one started. Wilting Rose has been submitted to a handful of film festivals and are excited to see what people think of it!
Today marks the 1 year anniversary from the day we flew from LA to PA to start shooting my first feature film Wilting Rose. It’s crazy to think how quickly the past year went.
Also today, the movie is officially picture locked. We’re still finalizing some sound elements and then we are off! #filmmaking #indiefilm
Here’s a first look at a few still images from our feature film “Wilting Rose”
2 years ago I started my production company Hidden Forest Pictures with a couple big projects immediately lined up. The first one is finally nearing the finish line.
We shot the entirety of this film over the summer 2022 in a couple cities and towns in Western Pennsylvania. Hidden Forest Pictures flew the small cast and crew out from Los Angeles to embark on a crazy, memorable month long journey. We had our fair amount of challenges along the way, but with the help and dedication of everyone involved we were able to finish production right on schedule.
Over the last five months we’ve been in post production, and the film is everything I could hope for. There are still a few more hoops we have to jump through to get it ready to watch, but we’re so excited for it to be seen, hopefully, soon.
For now enjoy these few images (DP. @panthony101 ). Teaser/Trailer coming early 2023.
Thanks for all the support along the way. Sometimes it’s hard to know how far you’ve gone until you take a look back and see how many steps you’ve taken.
Thanks
